Complete Colorado<\/em><\/a> . . .<\/p>\nAfter nearly three hours of discussion that included a rare allowance for public comment during a work session, the Broomfield City Council advised its legal staff to bring back for first reading a comprehensive list of new gun rights restrictions, despite an acknowledgement they will almost certainly be sued over at least some of the ordinances if passed.<\/em><\/p>\nAt its recent work session, Broomfield legal council Nancy Rogers and Courtney Thiemann presented six ordinances for council to consider:<\/em><\/p>\n\n- \n

The city council is flexing its anti-gun muscles after the state\u2019s preemption law was repealed earlier this year. And they don\u2019t seem to care about the constitutionality of the laws they\u2019re proposing.<\/p>\n
It probably won\u2019t surprise you to find out that certain key Broomfield city officials have close ties to national gun control organizations.<\/p>\n
Mayor Guyleen Castriotta, Councilwoman Heidi Henkel, and Cori Shaff, wife of Councilman Deven Shaff\u00a0co-authored a paper<\/a>\u00a0with Mom\u2019s Demand Action Northern Region Director Lacey McGinty titled: \u201cSocial change starts with you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nHow long do they think these local ordinances, if passed into law, will remain on the books? Are they unaware of what\u2019s happened to similar \u201cassault weapons\u201d bans in other Colorado cities<\/a>? Perhaps they don\u2019t care since the taxpayers will be the ones to foot the bill when these political hacks lose in court.<\/p>\nThese radical utopian local \u201cleaders\u201d need to have their noses rubbed in the humiliation of defeat, rapidly and prominently, before they end up costing residents six or seven figures in legal bills.<\/p>\n
